#FAIL CONTEST RESULTS

FAIR WARNING: empty your mouth, then proceed at your own risk. I take no responsibility for spewed drinks and/or ruined keyboards and/or bewildered coworkers.

Well first off, thanks y'all for making this contest ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to judge. There would have been much smashing of heads into desks if we hadn't been rolling on the ground laughing so hard.

Before I announce the winner, I'm going to go ahead and list our top finalists here. If you want to see more (and you should, just picking finalists was RIDICULOUS), look on instagram under the #sprinklerbandits. Pro tip: don't put anything in your mouth when you click over there either. 

Ok CONGRATULATIONS FINALISTS:

Haha. Wow. Yeah. I totally did not anticipate the number or quality of entries submitted. I also completely forgot about "modern technology" and "motion pictures", which, omg.

I laughed. I cried (from laughing). I conferred with my fellow judges. We let it marinate for a few days and decided that if one didn't stand out after that, we'd just draw from a hat.

But there was one entry I couldn't get out of my head:




Congratulations Emily at The Exquisite Equine!! Please contact me to collect your prize.

    Thank you for hosting what is probably the greatest equine internet contest ever. I definitely watched and re-watched The Exquisite Equine's post on instagram no fewer than 30 times after I saw it posted. So epic.

    I have no idea how I missed this post, but the results are amazing. I keep watching the "winner" over and over and over again. I love that her horse turns around to see what the heck she is doing! Amazing contest. Love this blog.
